Comments
Delegate Filler Corn:
Why does the Board need to know the "purpose" of my request to see records?
Are there "good purposes" and "bad purposes"?
Suppose the Board doesn't think that I've got a "good purpose" if I just say that I want to understand better how my assessment money is being spent? Suppose they don't think I need the information if my purpose is to do research because I'm thinking about running for the Board?
Who decides whether the purpose I state is sufficient? The Board?
Please tell us that you'll fix this Bill.
Thanks.
Ben
